Time for an update from the #WhatsItWednesday headquarters.

@cliffordbeshers Looks like wood shavings, or tinder, for a fire.

@joelhamill Wood shavings, yes, but a specific kind.

@cliffordbeshers pencil shavings...?

@Ddanielson Again, no, but you are in the ballpark. @annahavron was right about the size, more or less...

@cliffordbeshers From a chisel? Looks like basswood or balsa wood.

@acfusco Every tool but the right one. And it is Lodgepole Pine.

@cliffordbeshers From a lathe?

@acfusco Nope.

@cliffordbeshers This one is too hard for me, Clifford. (Having looked at the other suggestions).

@cliffordbeshers shavings from a planer?

@jomalo Again, wrong device. Think many small planers...

@odd The answer seems to be in a blind spot. Everyone has suggested tools that are fundamentally the same, but they have gone for the elegant, traditional, artisanal...

@cliffordbeshers Whittling shavings?

@Miraz That was going to be my next guess, but I didn’t know what it was in English.

@Miraz No. It’s like the opposite of that.

@cliffordbeshers Shaving whittlings???

@odd Nice try. I'm going to put y'all out of your misery.

@cliffordbeshers Everyone was on the right track: the result of a sharp blade on wood. But here is where a macro lens comes in handy for #WhatsItWednesday; it can make it difficult to tell the size.

These are little strips of Lodgepole Pine, cut by the teeth of a chain saw.

@cliffordbeshers Would never have crossed my mind! Lol. ⛓️🪚
